Half Stupid Half Dashing (Part 13)

Half Stupid Half Dashing

Cyrus and Cleorah walked among the heroes who were wearing armour and swords.

Some servants and soldiers helped them, preparing food, weapons, medicine.

Several witches from various Damaltia come to see the entry of the dungeon's breakthrough mission hero.

Early floor dungeons had already been plundered and cleaned by heroes, so it was currently the downstairs dungeon that heroes would break through. There will likely be a boss, but Cleorah believes that with the strength of the hero now then they can defeat the boss.

After all with the power of seeing Willy then they could easily get a lot of information easily.

'Knowledge can sometimes be power', Julius says.

Cleorah thought back to Julius, and what if he was here.

There is no hero who doubts the intelligence of Julius as strategic especially Perrin.

Perrin greatly admired him even when Julius was not around, sometimes Perrin recounted and recorded the words that Julius said were like Julius was in him.

If Julius were still here, then the two of them would be a terrible combination.

"Cleorah as you said, we will only make 1 team to break through this dungeon no parting" Cyrus said with a serious face.

"Yes, parting on the lower floor that we don't know is too stupid" Cleorah said.

Cyrus's face has become more serious lately, for some reason. He was still smiling but not with a laugh, a smile was some sad tone of his smile.

"Yes...how about the other heroes?" Cleorah said.

"A lot is fine, some are nervous, some are ready, some are still worried about the magic power they can't control. Like Sera who practiced using her healing magic power to fish, but she was still nervous about using her power on humans" Cyrus said with her powerful face.

"Yes, after all." Cleorah said looking at the hero who looked a little fun.

"The magic is different from the horse, it is wild as a sword without a handle can not be controlled for a long time without hurting yourself. So when you cast magic then control as much as you can and release it. Don't control it for long" said the Witch Barcalon as she sat down to advise the hero.

"So when it has targeted the enemy then just release the magic?" said one of the heroes with spirit.

"Take aim and let go, don't control to target it or aim for too long" said Barcalon, "easy to say and listen to, son, but doing it is hard"

"Master pe-witch? What about my magic? Healing magic? Master knows a good way to control healing magic?" Sera said nervously.

"I don't know much, Flynn knew that because he had seen healing magic firsthand and knew the person who controlled healing magic. But I don't" said Barcalon.

Cleorah has ordered Flynn to teach Sera, as Cleorah discovers that Flynn tried to practice healing magic but failed.

It's not just that Flynn used to have a healing magic teacher so he knows better about this.

Sera was reported to be quite good at her healing training but she was too slow, and to control her healing power to the full it took a long time.

Sera's face looked disappointed but then she calmed down the other hero, looks he still has spirit seeds in him.

*Perrin.you changed many heroes.your lecture in your room.and in that room you argued with Elric and hit Willy.*, thought Cleorah.

Szeth became more and more into armour before Perrin told him it was effective.

Dryer is more silent now and not much more use his power for fun, whether what Perrin said to him, but Cleorah suspects Perrin behind his growth. But he was now almost completely similar to Assassin.

Cyrus.he became more serious and powerful.His charisma has not faded but he became more serious and not so much joking with women anymore.

"Cyrus let's go. Tell the other heroes" Cleorah said.

"Well" said Cyrus, "gather heroes and march!" said Cyrus in a commanding tone.

The heroes then stood up from their seats and looked prepared, some of their bodies looking more muscular than they had originally come into this world.

Many of their faces look strong and have a serious tone in them, different when the beginning comes to this world.

*They've changed.* , thought Cleorah.

Suddenly Cleorah briefly saw Perrin standing beside her....

"Where's Mr Perrin?"

"Did he leave us?"

"Why didn't he tell us his plan?"

"Or maybe she was kidnapped?"

"No, some knights and horses also seem to disappear"

"I saw him last night he left with hundreds of other knights"

The noise of the generals being fined was heard and people started to worry that something would happen. Wild theories and rumors began to be thrown by the human tongue in this camp.

"Surge! Hero Lord Elric walks!"

Shouted the soldier beside Elric.

Elric walked among the generals who were worried and confused about what was happening.

'You're in command of this army'

Perrin's words cringed in Elric's head, nervously and his heart racing. Elric's hand clenched the spirit.

Elric's body is high enough to make his height equivalent to some generals add to the tension atmosphere in the field of this camp.

Some of the soldiers peeked out of their camp, looking at Elric and the other generals. The soldier was curious about Elric.

Elric's cold and strong face did not frighten the generals.

'It is action that can sometimes create dominance for a human being' ' said Perrin when he was in Balradius Castle.

Elric just walked until he passed them all and stood in front of them all.

Elric could see many generals from here.

"I am in command while Mr. Perrin is gone" Elric said, taking a letter that Perrin had signed, "This is proof"

Some of the generals just fell silent while some went back to chatting. Some can doubt it. While some look just staring at him.

*Perrin..you're too hated.so I'm also hated*, thought Elric.

"Why did Mr Perrin leave? What if he even went to hide in his castle, especially she was a woman" said one of the generals.

"Our plans we won't tell you in full" Elric said.

"How can we be sure that what Mr Elric said was not a lie?" said one of the generals.

Many agreed to the general's remarks but in a different sense they agreed.

It can be heard that some suspect that Elric was the one who kidnapped Perrin and took command of the troops.

*The rumor is wild.*, thought Elric.

Some think they're just young people who don't know anything and claim to be heroes, so they think Perrin ran away.

While some are still confused and waiting for what happens.

"Our plans we won't tell you in full" Elric said strongly.

"Why weren't we told of this plan? How did we not know that these plans were a lie" said one of the knights.

"Lies will be exposed in time, please say this plan as a 'lie' as you please now but when Mr. Perrin comes home, then you know what will happen next" ,elric said with a sharp look.

Some knights and nobles were instantly speechless hearing it, some were still dubious but some decided to fall silent.

Silently they were frightened, the chatter began to stop sounding and it appeared that some were sweating and gulping.

*Good, they remembered how Perrin stripped and cut off the tongues of the 53 soldiers. It is true that Perrin said that terror is effective.*, thought Elric.

"I'm in command, that's all you need to know. I ordered that we leave in 2 days to Myhall Castle. Knight Mailainn you will command 1,000 troops to evacuate some villagers from the war in the city of Jurumm and deliver some chests kicked me containing 4,000 coins to the mayor of Jurumm to make him open the gates for these refugees" ,elric said with a sharp look.

Some generals and nobles immediately agreed and accepted that they had a new commander.

"While the Knights of Lapann Garuman would command the vanguard, Huluna Rommel commanded the troop supply train, Jehenas Veel who would command the cavalry, Alamur Veel who would command the infantry's core forces, and Jehenas Veel, I will lead the reserve force" Elric said in a strong commando voice.

Some are still wondering where Perrin went and hoping that Perrin does have a plan.

Some can just be quiet.

*Perrin, I've done my part. It's just you playing your part, though I don't know what it is*, Elric thought as he held his nervous shaking hand.

"Finance is a lot of trouble right now, I hear" Taivarr said as he stood beside Vesius.

"Yes, war is intense. Armour troops, salaried troops, armament troops, food supplies, and. The horse is always more expensive than I thought" Vesius said.

They are currently in front of an ordinary people's terrace.

The roofs of the terraces cover their bodies and heads from the rain.

The drizzling rain seems to have shrunk.It has not subsided, but the rain is not as hard as before.

"It's been pretty quiet." ' said one of Taivarr's bodyguards.

"Let's continue walking" Taivarr said quickly and took a step first.

"Yes" said Vesius.

Walk them among the capital's market crowd that is quite dirty, with mud.

While some singers can be heard singing in the middle of this drizzle on the street.

"The soldier carrying his sword defeated the traitor~"

Some slaves were seen carrying items for their masters protecting them from the language. From various countries, nations, races they come.

But among the sights of the capital was a woman wearing a robe that covered her head with a flower basket she was carrying.

Vesius initially ignored her but seconds later the woman passed through Vesius.

"Miss Mya?" said Vesius as he quickly took the woman's arm.

Open the woman's robe, and look her face and black hair that graceful but graceful aura was starting to disappear into the face of a teenager who was caught.

"Master Vesius? It seems that the streets of the capital are so crowded with people that you are here too" Mya said trying to get clever words out to Lord Vesius.

But it could be seen Mya's face reddened but somehow Vesius felt that the red face was not because of being discovered but something else.

"Ha, it does seem that the streets of the capital are indeed crowded. But it is not so crowded that Miss Guest Nobles from other countries come down here" ' said Vesius while saying 'Miss of Guest Nobles from other countries' in a sharp tone.

"Who is this Lord Vesius?" said Taivarr with a sharp look at Miss Mya.

Mya looks suddenly nervous with Taivarr looking at her sharply, while wearing as much as his head covering to cover part of his face.

"It looks like this is a pretty strange situation and it's better if I explain it. This Mr. Taivarr is a guest of Mya from the Veel Family who came from Dalmatia a few weeks ago" Vesius said as he held onto Mya's shoulder firmly.

Mya flushed her face when she felt Vesius' hand on her shoulder.

"Ohhh..I'm sorry miss.honestly it's quite strange to find you here.especially it's not nervous.As fellow Dalmatians must be quite foreign to feel the taste of the land of Victa" ,taivarr said with a low bow.

" 'Over Damaltians'?" said Mya curiously.

"Hm" , smiling Vesius, "Master Taivarr was born and came from Dalmatia"

"Mr Taivarr..from Damaltia.." ' said Mya in disbelief and admiration, "how did you end up here, sir?"

"I used to be just a counter for the food supply warehouse for a little noble and the rest of it. I couldn't tell you about it in a short time, miss.." Taivarr said with a small smile.

Mya looked a little amazed and curious.

"So why are Lord Vesius and Lord Taivarr here?" Mya said with too much curiosity.

Vesius stared intently at Mya to signal that he was asking excessively, and Mya seemed to understand immediately.

But Mya just smiled...

"Hm" , smiling Taivarr heard his words, "just a casual conversation between 2 ordinary humans miss"

"2 humans can also talk about something interesting, right?" said Mya while carrying a wooden basket in front of her stomach.

Vesius could only furrow his brows looking towards Mya.

"Hm" , smiled Taivarr, "Miss is right, 2 ordinary humans should be able to make an interesting conversation"

"About what?" , asked Mya.

"About war" said Vesius coldly, "Victa is dying miss, with the rebels wanting to drag her out of her nursing basket and the war trying to stop her with iron but instead co-injuring Victa herself" ,vesius continued.

Mya had a small smile on her face at Lord Vesius' reply.

It seemed that Mya was pleased to hear Lord Vesius' reply.

"As you can see, a woman like myself is not very good at war, but I can understand some of my master's things" Mya said in a polite tone.

"Heh, did you know that theft is on the rise right now in the capital? And some other area in Victa?" said Vesius smilingly.

"Theft..it's not about war, is it?" said Mya in a slightly confused tone.

"No, you're right. Unless the theft is about the theft of military supplies in all military supplies in the capital and other areas" Vesius said.

"Why..? Why is the theft so high?" , asked Mya with an incarceration.

"Because all the troops guarding the warehousing disappeared into the battlefield, especially the supply warehouse was only full in the war. So thieves really like this time where there are many things they can steal" Vesius said as he continued walking.

There were children playing in the middle of the road between the drizzle of rain.

"Especially when there is a siege, hahh. Almost all the soldiers were busy preparing city protection and sometimes no one was keeping supplies, amid the chaos they snuck in" ,said Vesius while looking at the children who pickpocketed taking the onion carried by horse carts.

"War is a more destructive time than many people think" Taivarr said.

"Yes, war is creeping on Victa right now. The king seems to be growing now miss and the damage also seems to be increasing" Vesius said while looking at a group of slaves.

"Based on a fucking slave! You only do one thing, but you can't do it!" yelled at a man in the middle of the market shouting at a weak-looking slave-girl.

Besides the woman, a basket fell with hundreds of eggs lying and breaking on the streets of the capital.

The man then took out a bat and beat the slave wildly.

*Strasss!*

"ah! Ahk! Akh!" cried out the pain of the boy while taking the blow with pain.

Some ordinary people turned their heads but chose to let him or watch him see women being beaten.

Mya seemed to sympathize and move her legs

"Don't" Vesius said as he held Mya in his hand, "you're more stupid than brave and heroic now, you should realize that"

"But the woman is in pain" Mya said.

"It happens hundreds every day, I'm natural to the feelings of the lady, indeed in Dalmatia slavery has been banned and considered biadap but this is Victa miss.this is a different place" Taivarr said.

"That man is working for Ortwyn Juhun, if we disturb him then that will be a problem for us. He's providing the Republic with food supplies now, if I disturb him then I'm losing 7,000 sheep and 4,000 cows all over Victa. Miss Mya if you go out on a picnic then you don't know what will happen to you miss" Vesius said with a sharp look.

Mya was just a bitter face, she wanted to help but she couldn't.

*Live by letting others suffer.is that what we told Mya?* ,thought Vesius.

The woman was hit continuously but some people just looked at just laughing and chatting about her.

Some more let it and ignore it back to their respective affairs.

"Oi! Oh! Which kind of man hits an innocent woman!" said a young man who appeared to come forward to protect the slave.

*The child is more foolish than brave.." - Vesius.

The man beating the slave instantly stopped his torture when he heard it.

The young man is seen standing strong in front of the man who hit the slave.

"Stop hitting him!" said the young man half-dashingly.

"Hhhahaha! If I stop, why?" said the man who hit the boy with a smile.

"Now! 80 coins! To buy that kid! Now the boy is mine!" said the young man, slamming a bag of coins into the ground.

The man who hit the slave immediately smiled, both of them were silent for a while while all the markets were looking at them.

Mya looked quite amazed at the young man while Vesius and Taivarr saw the young man as a fool.

"Heh" , a smiling man hit the slave, "Pyp and Jarr! Hold this kid!"

Then 2 big men appeared from the market crowd behind the man who hit the slave.

2 The big man immediately held the young man.

"Why this? Why is this!?" said the young man thrashing while being held by the 2 big men.

"Cut off his tongue, he disrespected Ortwyn Juhun's employees" said the man who hit the slave while taking 80 coins on the ground, "the price of this slave is 86 coins nak not 80 coins basic stupid" ,said the man while putting the 80 coins back on the ground.

"Shehhsjekakekaj" said the young man thrashing while one of the 2 men put his hand into the young man's mouth.

"Please! Help u! Please don't cut off my brother's tongue! Don't!" said a woman emerging from the crowd.

*Bakk!*

"Don't bother" ' said the man who hit the slave directly hit the woman's face with a strong hand.

*cnek*

Mya, Vesius, and Taivarr saw the young man's tongue cut off.

Vesius and Taivarr looked at him with emotionless flat gazes.

Mya closed her mouth and shifted her eyes.

While the young man seemed to want to scream but no one heard his screams or maybe he could not scream anymore.

"Yes." - said Vesius while holding Mya's hand.

Mya looked at Lord Vesius.

*This world is too harsh for him.for a teenager who thinks he knows as much as he does.* , thought Vesius.

"Master Vesius why?" said Mya.

"You want to be the hero of Mya?.then suffer to be one of them" said Vesius pointed at the man who lost his tongue.
